Hi mozzer.

Have you installed any new hardware/software recently?

Hi mozzer.

Have you installed any new hardware/software recently?

[mozzer11]

Well it's a brand new computer that I built myself so everything is new really.

Out of interest what Motherboard and what Memory do you have? (Make/model).
Have you ran Memtest86 to see if you have any memory errors?
The BSoD messages can often be misleading.

Some motherboards arent compatable with large harddrivers.

Say your harddrive is 250GB then some motherboards dont like that so you have two choices: Sell your 250GB and get two 120BG or virtually cut your harddrive in half so the PC thinks its two harddrives.

Southend, my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G
RAM is Corsair value select. I haven't tried memtest yet. My HD is only 80gb.

0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.

If you want to Google the error code, you can come up with enough reading material to keep you busy until its time to build another machine. As an alternative, you can relax your memory timings or get some better memory. Some would also have you believe that Corsair Value Select is the same as XMS without heat sinks - don't believe it for a minute.
